Our bird feeder really has become a focus for the local bird population. We are getting so many visitors at the moment! Our most amusing guests are most certainly the Wood Pigeons. There's a serious territorial battle going on (their behaviour doesn't seem like courting) and Joe's managed to get a few pictures of it:
Pigeon Grandstanding
Territorial ambitions
Aerial Combat
Pigeon Bitchslap
The way they continually chase each other around is rather funny, and (for better or worse) have put
this song in my head.
I also saw a
male Sparrowhawk today!!
